Thursday Pickups: Fantasy Basketball Adds for 1/16

  • By Mark C

    Last Updated on January 17, 2025 8:41 am by Mark C | Published: January 16, 2025

    Welcome to Thursday Night Pickups: Fantasy Basketball Adds for 1/16! We had a fairly light slate with some blowouts, but I still found some adds for your squads. Check them out below!

    Standard Leagues

    (<50% rostered on Yahoo)

    Luguentz Dort, G/F, OKC (23% rostered)

    Tonight: 20 minutes, 22 points (8-of-11 FGs), two rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block.

    Analysis: Dort is an extremely streaky shooter. That said, he usually does enough in other categories to be worth riding during the cold spells. I understand if you don’t want to deal with the lows, but then you don’t deserve Dort at his best.

    After years of playing redraft fantasy basketball leagues with my friends, I branched out to dynasty leagues. As my hunger for competitive leagues grew, I found myself having lengthy conversations in various forums and developing my own thoughts on rookies and veteran players alike. Among the dynasty community, I found a gap in understanding on-court play and valuing transactions properly and thought to myself “I have a lot to say that could help dynasty managers!” I eventually came onto Sports Ethos as the Dynasty Lead, producing Dynasty Fantasy Basketball content such as rankings, rookie profiles, and other sorts of articles to enable managers to make informed decisions on their own squads. I pride myself in marrying on-court NBA and fantasy basketball analysis, giving readers and listeners of my content a holistic knowledge base of not only dynasty basketball projects but also the NBA itself.
